    Factors: Budget, Status, Promoters, Opponents

    ThOuGhTs????

    Main Event:
    Mayweather vs Pacquiao (2 biggest stars in boxing today) I would like it if something besides a mythical championship was on the line.

    Co Feature:
    Nonito Donaire vs Fernando Montiel - WBO bantamweight title

    Undercard(s):
    Devon Alexander vs Amir Khan - WBC/WBA junior welterweight titles
    Edwin Valero vs Juan Diaz - WBC lightweight title


    This card can be made if the the promoter(s) are in line ... these fighters are either affiliated with GBP and TopRank or fight for them ... great fights ... 4 title fights on the line, well worth the $50 buck and then some ... biggest card in history !!

    3m buys !!

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao-Main event
    Haye vs Vitali Klitscko
    Pavlik vs Williams
    Marquez vs Hatton
    Lopez vs Caballero

    I know this is impossible with the different promoters but for a PPV to sell out 2 million buys. It's gotta be stacked from top to bottom with different ethnicity. Mexicans-americans-British-Puerto Ricans-asians etc etc

    this fight card would surely get 2 million buys especially with the large following coming from flilipino's -puerto ricans-mexicans-british and americans.

    Mayweather vs Pacquio (Joint Main event)

    Roy Jones Jr vs Bernard Hopkins (Main Event)

    Juan Manuel Marquez vs Timothy Bradley

    Joan Guzman vs Juan Diaz

    Chris John vs Yuriorkis Gamboa


    that would my ideal fightcard , i know it could never happen, but to be honest you cant really create a PPV of today which would exceed 3million buys with the way boxing is ruled today

    That card is going to exceed the budget ...

    HW's especially Wlad Klitschko will require just as much money that Mayweather vs Pacquiao will get ...

    Pavlik vs Williams is decent but i'm not sure that Pavlik would agree to be on a PPV undercard

    Marquez vs Hatton will be great but those guys would be looking to cash in to ... they're on the elite level

    Lopez vs Caballero would be awesome ... I think that would fit

    This could work but I doubt that RJJ or BHop would be down to "co-feature" or co main event on a PPV

    You have to factor in the weight class ... if you see that light welterweights,lightweights and under don't much move over 1m if that for a big fight.

    So if you get a few of those guys on the card _ maybe some one in the higher weight class on the rise. Because just to say that you have a big fight like Mayweather vs Pacquiao ... those guys are going to make a pretty penny but then you take the rest of those guys they can stand to have a budget of 1.5 - 2m for 3 fights.

    Main Event: PBF vs. Manny P
    Co-feature: Cotto vs. Margarito II orCotto vs. Mosley II
    Undercard:
    Dawson vs. Johnson II
    Vazquez vs. Marquez IV?
    Lopez vs. Caballero

    IF Cotto beats Pacman, then it should be PBF vs. Cotto.
    IF Pacman loses but is impressive, you can try Pac vs. Mosley. If Pac gets dominated then JMM vs. Pac III would be fun.

    Dawson vs. Johnson might expensive but Vazquez/Marquez IV shouldn't be too expensive and would be one hell of an undercard.
